CMS has introduced new claims-based quality measures for hospice. These measures look at the entire continuum of hospice care and are intended to evaluate quality. Is your agency prepared?

Kokua Mau Webinar: Making the Connection: Telephone Skills That Enhance Branding, Access, & Patient Loyalty

More information

Jan 26, 10 - 11:30 am

Looking to significantly improve patient experience and improve your agency’s brand? Customer service and satisfaction start with the first phone call. Ensure staff are connecting with customers and exemplifying the agency’s mission on every call.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Use five telephone techniques to strengthen your brand

  • Reduce caller friction with simple website tweaks

  • Implement a telephone skills self-assessment for job applicants

  • Ditch the scripts with a four-step process to connect on every call

  • Sustain your telephone service behaviors with a peer coaching program

WEBINAR DETAILS

Jennifer calls two healthcare organizations seeking information. Her impression of the first organization is that they are attentive, competent, and ready to help. The second organization feels indifferent, unfriendly, and abrupt. This impression was formed from a single phone call. Poor telephone behaviors – whether systemic or interpersonal – reduce access and could be a top branding issue. Healthcare providers have less to fear from competitors offering the same services than from indifference on the part of a team member. To be fair, telephone rapport can be difficult to accomplish because calls tend to be transactional. This webinar will focus on creating connections with patients, clients, and other callers in a way that differentiates your organization.

How can you sustain the gains implemented as a result of attending this webinar? You can't observe every telephone call. The solution is a peer coaching program to reinforce agency standards throughout the year. A peer call coaching program is the most effective way to sustain positive call behaviors and customer satisfaction. By the end of this webinar, attendees will have a simple, ready-to-implement program.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:

  • Hospice

  • Home Health

  • Home Care

  • Palliative Care

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is designed for team members involved in the patient experience. It will benefit call center managers, leaders and managers responsible for customer service staff, training managers, human resource personnel, referral and intake staff, and anyone who wants to improve their customer service phone skills.

TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT

  • Pre-hire telephone skills self-assessment

  • Peer review templates

  • 20 empathetic phrases for the telephone

  • PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions

More information

Jan 24, 10 - 11:30 am

The presenter, Kurt Kazanowski, understands this concept well because he owned a personal care company and made four to five referrals to hospice per month. Guess how many hospices called upon him? Zero! Developing this referral segment will provide a longer length of stay and will ensure your hospice is a valuable resource to personal care companies. Don’t miss out on this undervalued opportunity.
